Hey guys, it's Cait and I'm bringing in "Rufus", Annie's ex who's ka-ka-ka-crazy.
Rufus is an Encantado, and I put the info about what exactly that is under the cut. He'll be building himself up another nice little hell hole with prostitutes and drug dealers in the area, or will at least try to. So if any of your kids need a fix, you know where to find him ;D
I've got him pretty much open for plot too (besides his "ownership" over Annie). Despite the being all lovely and evil, he's pretty charming. Really! I swear he won't bite.

Encantado
Encantado are shapeshifters that only shift into the form of a snake. Many of them trace back to Brazillian origin, but Encantados have been found all over the world. There are three things that characterize Encantados. They have a superior musical ability, they are seductive and love sex - often resulting in illegitimate children - and they love parties and wild gatherings of crowds like riots and the like. Despite the fact that their believed birthplace, Encante, was a supposed Utopia of wealth and happiness that had no pain or death, the Encantados love to create hardships for those in the human world.
Besides being able to shift from snake form to human form and vice versa, the Encantado also possesses other abilities like enchantment. Enchantment is the ability to 'haunt' a human. In order to do such, the Encantado must know the person they're trying to haunt. When haunting a human, the Encantado is susceptible to being harmed itself if the haunting backfires. Haunting is essentially the ability to plant thoughts into a person's head and if the Encantado is practiced enough in his or her skills, the ability to control the haunted person's thoughts and actions. Haunting can only be done for about half an hour or so at a time before it starts to weigh on the Encantados mind, basically driving them a little batty if they spend too long controlling a subject without having some form of a break.
Encantados are often a little off and have been known to want to control those they feel are their mates. Because of this they've built up a reputation for kidnapping their love interests and trying their best to control them so they can never leave.
